19-20 November 2011: This investigation provided the very first clear indications of multiple “drop-in” communicators and a haunting. Reanalysis of audio from the 5-6 Nov 2011 investigation (update) also suggested the same. However, the presence of multiple potential communicators was not immediately apparent at that time.

 

The intent of this investigation was to determine what communicators were in the home, what they wanted, and why they were there. The investigation succeeded in eliciting names (directly or indirectly) of some communicators. Audio content suggested that some communicators appeared to be protective of the client. However, no firm progress was made uncovering the source of the haunting.

 

KEY FINDINGS:

 

AUDIO: EVP continued to suggest the possible presence of multiple and interacting “drop-in” communicators. Some core personalities may have emerged.

 

Some activity found in EVP reflected a desire on the part of some “drop-in” communicators to be recognized (“We Can Get Through”). In other instances, communicators commented on the participants. The observers, in effect, became the observed (“You’re Already Careful”).

 

In some cases harassment or intimidation may have occurred. Some example EVP in this regard were (“She Made Fun of Him”) and (“Lorraine”). The EVP (“Let Me Handle It”) is perhaps an example of a protective response.

 

One communicator identified himself twice by first name in EVP (“David”) and (“I’m David”). The last name of the David communicator is possibly (“Morgan”). Searches in historical records found no persons with the name “David Morgan” that had resided near the client’s location. It is also possible that “Morgan” may refer to a different communicator.

 

Some communicators appeared to be protective of the client or may have been attempting to relay advice; an example EVP of this kind was (“Hold Her Now”).

 

One (or more) communicators exhibited brusque personalities; a possible Class C example was (“Go Head to the Map”); ** Headphones recommended. ** As was the case with the prior visit, some communicators again readily responded to provocation (“You’ll Regret It Now”).

 

The religious contours of the haunting remain. In the EVP (“Where Is He?”), multiple ‘drop-in” communicators replied to the query as to whether the ghost of a clergyman may be present. Collectively, audio responses appeared to caution against the question in itself.

 

MOVEMENT/PHYSICAL: There were mixed indications communicators were possibly affecting the physical environment. During the night, the client’s son was awakened by the sound of loud pounding on his bedroom wall. EVP were heard in response to the client’s query regarding this event (“She Made Fun of Him”), that assigned responsibility to an unidentified female presence. There were also instances where communicators disavowed affecting physical surroundings; in the EVP (“I Haven’t”), a communicator possibly claims not to have moved a infrared surveillance camera. A likely explanation for this poltergeist type event was psychokinetic activity on the part of the son.

 

ELECTROMAGNETIC: The most dramatic event involved the outdoor backyard floodlight. At one point, the client prayed for the home to be enveloped in protective white light. Exactly 3 mins and 33 secs later, the floodlight activated. Several EVP were heard (“There You Have It”) during the event. These EVP were suggestive that communicators may have affected the motion sensor. However, psychokinesis on the part of the client could also have accounted for this poltergeist effect.

 

VIDEO: No apparitions were seen or noted yet in footage. However a large slow-moving orb was noted in infrared surveillance camera footage after the floodlight activation event. Despite the coincident timing, moving dust still remains a natural explanation for this orb activity, which may have been stirred from the client’s movement.

 

CASE ASSESSMENT/UPDATE: Multiple “drop-in” communicators appeared to be aware that we can hear them and made various attempts to be acknowledged. In EVP, some communicators signaled on the part of themselves or others, an ability to affect the environment. However, psychokinesis arising from the family is perhaps the most likely explanation for these effect. Core personalities (and names) among the drop-in communicators may have emerged; some of whom appear protective of the client.

 

The floodlight event bears added comment. Although weather conditions were not particularly windy, the activation of the floodlight’s motion sensor may have a natural explanation and perhaps represents pure coincidence. However, analysis should consider the possibility, even if remote, that the specific timing of event involving the number “333” communicates some form of intent.

 

The number 333 has no universally shared significance. For some Christians, it represents the holy trinity. For numerologists, the number suggests the presence of a guardian spirit. In mystic practices, 333 is believed to represent mocking of the holy trinity and is associated with a particular dark mystical entity named Choronzon. In Latin, three has a positive connection as suggested by the phrase “omne trium perfectum“, which translates to “everything that comes in threes is perfect.”

 

This event remains unexplained. If the agency (source of effect) was the client, this poltergeist encounter could have been a represented a unconscious and liminal blend of psychokinesis and distant intentionality

 

In all, this remains a serious case with a high volume of EVP. The tenor of some EVP continues to be a cause for concern and caution.

 

Audio findings can never provide proof of ghosts. Since the ultimate source/origin of the audio is unknown, one cannot prove that any audio findings came from non-corporeal beings. Moreover, audio collection equipment is not shielded from radiofrequency (RF) transmissions. RF cannot be ruled out as a potential audio source.

 

“Drop-in” communications in themselves may (or may not) equate to a haunting. If communications suggest location-affinities or appear place-centered, a haunting could be inferred. Since some audio content appeared to indicate location awareness, the activity is characterized as a haunting.
